Siberian larch
Dominant boreal-forest species in Mongolia. Cold-hardy to −40 °C, deep-rooted, naturally resistant to surface fires once mature. Accounts for the majority of Mongolia's 12.5 million ha of forest cover.
Plant 1 Tree
One native sapling planted, fenced, watered, and audited for three years in the western Mongolian steppe. The smallest unit of real, measurable impact we offer.

Species planted
Scots pine
Tolerant of sandy and rocky soils. Used at the southern boundary of the Khentii forest belt where shallow soils make larch impractical.
Asian white birch
Fast-growing pioneer species. Planted in mixed cohorts to provide windbreak before the slower-growing larch reaches canopy height.
Where
Khovd aimag, western Mongolia. Specific GPS coordinates issued with the survival report.
Planting method
Spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October) planting windows. Forest User Group teams hand-plant, fence the cohort against livestock, and water on a survival schedule. Sapling stock from the Mongolian Forest Research Association nurseries.
Audit
Year-1 survival census after the first growing season. Year-3 audit — the number that determines the cohort's success rating. Our floor is 70% survival at Y3; below that triggers free replanting.
